Title:
DATA CONVERTER, COMPUTER, AND PRINTER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2000/022812
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A number of conversion tables are stored in a computer. When a color image data is converted into the data form suited to the ink prepared for a particular printer, one corresponding to the print condition is first selected from the conversion tables stored in the computer and is put in memory of a data converter. Color image data to be printed is then supplied to the data converter, which refers to the conversion table stored in the memory to convert the color image data. Since a corresponding conversion table condition is read for each print from the computer, the image data can be converted by using an appropriate conversion table without the need for a lot of conversion tables stored in the data converter, and printouts of high quality can be produced independently of print conditions.
